Thermal Analysis Engineer (m/f/d)

Your Mission 

As part of the Launch Vehicle Loads and Analysis team, you will be working on the thermal systems of the Spectrum launch vehicle. Covering system design; sources and model definition to conducting calculations and reporting. Your input and knowledge will be highly appreciated and directly drive flight hardware design iterations. 

More specifically, you will: 

• Design and analyze thermal systems (e.g. MLI, ventilation systems, heaters, …) 
• Set up and own thermal models of the launcher, including:
  • convection models for closed volumes and propellants
  • radiative and conductive models for complex geometries
• Investigate critical scenarios during ground and flight operations
• Perform thermal coupled load analysis for the launch vehicle and payload as part of mission analysis  
• Determine operating environments for components (e.g. Avionics) and vehicle structures
• Define thermal instrumentation for system testing and flight 

Who you are and what you have 

• B.Sc./M.Sc. in the field of Engineering, Aerospace, Mechanics or comparable 
• At least 5 years of experience working on thermal systems  
• Sound knowledge in thermal systems design and heat transfer mechanisms
